Today's adventure....

I went to my favorite Pep Boys (Hempstead Tpk. in Elmont for you locals...if any) and dealt with Charlie. Charlie is waaaaay cool. We tied up that damn computer terminal and cash register to the point where some impatient tool threw down a $10 bill saying "this costs $5.99... keep the change" and walked out! I got my wheel cylinders and u-joints today, the pads & shoes come Wed. and the engine mount by the weekend. Even if the parts are wrong, this gentleman learned our laungage and was competent & thorough. I have a good feeling.

I'll know next weekend when I bolt in all the crap I'm buying this week.
